SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 30, 1998 (63 FR 15490),

HUD published its National

SuperNOFA announcing the availability

of approximately $5,050,000 in HUD

National Competition Programs

operated and managed by the following

HUD Offices: Fair Housing and Equal

Opportunity (FHEO), Housing, and Lead

Hazard Control [FR–4361–N–01]. The

purpose of this notice is to reopen the

application period for two of the three

programs under the National

SuperNOFA: Fair Housing Initiatives

Program (FHIP) National Focus

Education and Outreach, and the

Housing Counseling Program. The

application period is not being reopened

for National Lead Hazard Awareness

Campaign Program announced under

the National SuperNOFA.

Reopening of the Application Periods

for FHIP and Housing Counseling

Programs Under National SuperNOFA

In the National SuperNOFA, HUD

announced that the application due

dates for the national education/training

components of the Fair Housing

Initiatives Program (FHIP), Housing

Counseling Program and Hazard Control

Program to be July 7, 1998. Due to

changes from previous years in the

requirements for collaborative efforts,

the extension of the application due

date for the FHIP and Housing

Counseling Programs, announced under

SuperNOFA I, published on March 31,

1998 (the extension notice was

published on May 29, 1998) created a

hardship for FHIP and Housing

Counseling applicants trying to meet the

July 7, 1998 deadline under the National

SuperNOFA. Accordingly, to assist

FHIP and Housing Counseling program

applicants, HUD is reopening the

application period and the new

application due date is August 11, 1998.

Applicants under both the FHIP and

Housing Counseling Programs are not

required to submit applications by the

original July 7, 1998 application due

date, but those applicants who

submitted applications by the July 7,

1998 application due date are eligible to

amend their applications if they choose

to do so.

Technical Corrections to Housing

Counseling Program NOFA and TOP/

EDSS NOFA

In addition to reopening of the

application period for the FHIP and

Housing Counseling Programs

announced under the National

SuperNOFA, published on April 30,

1998, the following corrections are

made:

1. In the Super Notice of Funding

Availability for National Competition

Programs (National SuperNOFA),

published on April 30, 1998 (63 FR

23958), a correction is made to the

Housing Counseling Training Program

component of the National SuperNOFA.

On page 23977, in the middle column,

under Section I(D)(1), the first sentence

of the first paragraph of this section is

revised to read ‘‘Applicants must be

public or private non-profit

organizations with at least 2 years of

relevant training experience.’’

2. In the Super Notice of Funding

Availability (SuperNOFA) for Economic

Development and Empowerment

Programs, published on April 30, 1998

(63 FR 23876), a correction is made to

a typographical error that appeared in

the Consolidated Economic

Development and Supportive Services

and Tenant Opportunities Program

component of this SuperNOFA (63 FR

23907). On page 23912, in the third

column, under Section III((A)(6), the

indicator number for the Resident

Initiatives indicator is Indicator #7, not

#8. Accordingly, paragraph (6), titled

‘‘PHMAP Score’’ is corrected to read as

follows: ‘‘An applicant cannot have a

PHMAP score less than a C for either

Indicator #6, Financial Management, or

Indicator #7, Resident Services/

Community Building on its most recent

PHMAP.

Dated: July 2, 1998.
